• Today I’d like to tell you about a paper by Samantha Connolly.
• Samantha Connolly is a physical therapist with a clinic in the seaside village of Spiddal in the West of Ireland.
• She is a Neuromuscular Therapist and a Lymphatic therapist.
• Frustrated by the lack of research linking lipedema with possible hormonal irregularities, Samantha spent a number of years reviewing the literature and wrote an article outlining possible hormonal influences in Lipedema.
• It is her strong hope that this will spark further research in this area.
• The paper is titled: Does lipoedema mimic pregnancy? and it was published in the journal Wounds International in 2022.
• Several people, including Catherine Seo at the Lipedema Project, asked me to review this article, and I’m glad I did. I think you will find it very interesting.
